Mark Levin: John McCain Funeral Coverage ‘Seems a Little Over the Top’
Breitbart ^ | August 31, 2018 | Joshua Caplan

Posted on 09/01/2018 5:47:50 AM PDT by Hojczyk

And I say this with the deepest of sincerity – and I don’t want calls on this, by the way: Am I the only person in America who thinks the passing of McCain and the news coverage has gone on a little too long and it’s a little too much?

Really, you can honor somebody, but this is going on day after day after day after day after day. And I don’t say this out of any animus whatsoever, period. Why do some public officials get this kind of treatment – Kennedy, McCain, so forth – and others get no treatment whatsoever. You’ve probably never even heard of them, probably weren’t on TV as much as say McCain or Lindsey Graham and so forth.

Okay, fine. I understand that – that is, the criticism. But you don’t see the same kind of criticism applied to John McCain or the people who planned his goodbye in slighting Sarah Palin, which really is a mean thing to do. She never said a nasty word about John McCain, even when conservatives were raising questions about what he did and so forth. She never did. When I had her on a couple months ago, on Life, Liberty & Levin, wouldn’t say a negative thing about him.

Never did. She was his vice presidential running mate. He picked her. That seems to be a little bit more relevant to me than the flag flying at half-mast through Sunday, and yet you’ll see almost no criticism of this by the same so-called news outlets, the same so-called voices , you know, the same crowd who can’t wait to attack Trump.

I will bet Queen Elizabeth is shocked by this massive political stunt! This is a funeral fit for the King of a Nation.

Hope it backfires on the Left!

If Trump had attended (which I realize he would never have done) the left would have labelled him a hippocrite.

I've tried to avoid all coverage of this.
Everywhere I go people are complaining about not being able to escape it.

Other people are still watching it though, so I guess it's like rubber necking past a serious car wreck.

I'm waiting to see what happens Monday
and no one should inherit a Senate seat.
No one.

No, no. Let’s keep this going for a month or so. Ship him around to every state he won the presidential election in.

By the end of next week they will have McCain’s wife out “inspecting the troops”.

I interact with a mix of conservatives, “moderate” Republicans, and Democrats of all stripes where I work and live and no one is talking about John McCain. Just another example of elites telling us what is important and how we should feel. They should honor him by suspending his funeral, just like he suspended his dopey campaign.

That's the plan (or his daughter)
After seeing them both on the view (at the VA where the TV was being held hostage)
I knew where this was going (and it wasn't good)

I hope that if Ducey does this, he never gets a day of not regretting it...

Monday Monday...

Wow. This eulogy by Meghan McCain is really inappropriate. This should not be the venue for so much hate.

Never ever seen a death so politicized.

I hope our President is relaxing playing golf or figuring out his next move concerning tariffs and trade

“It’s the third day and McCain hasn’t risen from the dead. From all the coverage I was almost expecting that to happen.”

Well, he’s not in the ground yet. I’m referring to this continuim as “McCain’s Revenge”. Making everyone suffer for not electing him president....

How about Chevy Chase?

He could provide live coverage of the changing of the guard of the Anti-Bladder Brigade at McCain's tomb.

It is a great way to use Mc Cain’s animus against Trump, All the eulogizers can praise McCain to the high heavens, with the awareness that he has been positioned as the anti- Trump, paragon of virtue. Usual gutter level of the Left exploiting and degrading everything they touch.

Never despair, history always was and still is a much better judge than the total of the LEFT news media. And only some very unusual people will be remembered long after they are gone for their achievements beyond the graveyard of history and I for one do not believe Mc Cain will be one of them.

On the other hand, and mark my words, I believe President Trump is raking up one achievement after another, all positive and beneficial to this Great Country what will be well remembered and recorded in the annals of history.
